#11: Is sibling closeness about age, shared bedrooms, or just surviving the chaos together? We break down the myths around the "perfect" age gap and share how we stayed close despite a 5-year difference. Parents stress over the "right" age gap but closeness isn't math. We're sharing our stories, what really made us close, and the little things moms can do to encourage sibling bonds.

• We share our own stories of growing up five years apart, the pressure of parenting trends like "2 under 2," and why connection matters more than timing.
• What makes siblings close? Is it age, proximity, or something else? We dive into our own relationship, the fights, the laughs, and the little things that built real closeness.
• This episode is all about sibling dynamics. We talk about growing up with space between us, how cousins and shared chaos played a role, and what we think helps siblings bond over time.
• People are surprised at how close we are with five years between us. We share why closeness isn't about math, how family life shaped our bond, and the ways we now think about raising our own kids.
• The pressure to have kids close in age is real. We break down myths about age gaps, tell our own stories, and remind moms that closeness can be built in so many ways.
• We grew up with a gap and still became each other's safe place. In this episode we share how that happened, what worked for us, and what we've learned about sibling connection.
• Age gaps don't define sibling closeness and we're proof of that. We talk about our relationship, the role of family environment, and how chaos often creates the strongest bonds.
• Sibling closeness is something so many parents want. We share what helped us, how age gaps shaped but didn't limit us, and why connection matters more than perfect timing.
